Gareth Southgate: How does his England record compare to other managers?

Tournament record: Did not qualify for Euro 1984, quarter-final at 1986 World Cup, group stage at Euro 1988, fourth at 1990 World Cup.

Overall record: Played 95, won 47, drawn 30, lost 18, scored 154, conceded 60, win ratio 49.5%.

Just as Sir Alf Ramsey had done in the 1960s, Sir Bobby Robson became England manager following great success at Ipswich Town, with Robson getting the national job shortly after England were knocked out of the 1982 World Cup.

It was a tough start as England failed to qualify for Euro 1984, coming second behind group winners Denmark. But Robson’s side reached the quarter-finals at the 1986 World Cup, losing 2-1 to Argentina, with Diego Maradona scoring twice, including his infamous ‘Hand of God’ goal, when he punched the ball into the net.

England lost all three games at Euro 1988, but then, for the first time since 1966, reached the semi-finals of a major tournament, before losing on penalties to West Germany in the last four at Italia 90.
